- It is time to end the duopoly of the Democrats and Republicans, even on the state scale. Add another option to bring new ideas and solutions to our problems.
- I believe most South Dakotans are Libertarians at heart and just don't know it yet. It is important to let the people know there is candidates who are socially liberal and fiscally conservative.
- I believe that the massive conservatism of our state legislature is holding South Dakota back from being a much more prosperous state for both citizens and entrepreneurs.
Despite our budget for education, we still have numerous underpaid educators that are often quitting for other jobs or transferring to schools in other states.I firmly believe that government at any level needs to have a very reduced role in business. By allowing the free market to work, even on a state level, we could have one of the most prosperous and lucrative states in the US.
We are behind the ball on many national issues, for example, marijuana legalization and hemp production. Although we are now making progress towards it in 2020, we are already sending out signals that we are going to make it difficult for people to prosper on this business sector.
